Re: Advertising suggestions sought, or stratagies

[Spellcheck Patrol <alarminstall@xxxxxxx>]

You can offer everything for free and it doesn't mean a hoot in hell
if you can't get the information in front of the potential client.
The NDNC legislation along with Google's advertising monopoly and the
fucking locusts out of Provo Utah have created a stranglehold on
smaller dealers. What was once 2 doors and a motion for zero down has
now turned into 10 openings a motion 2 fobs and a smoke for zero down
thanks largely in part to the jagoff Monkeytronics dealers in
California and Arizona.
Right now there is very little that can be done to spark the interest
of Joe Homeowner other than pray ADT increases their TV spots tenfold
because their commercials get people thinking.
Hate them all you want but most of you feast off of the scraps of ADT.


And in response to Rodney's post allow me to say .......Rodney,
perhaps it's time for you to find a different line of work because you
have been asking this question since at least 1999. It's nice to see
you finally quit using ASA to keep in touch with your twin brother.
Congratulations on discovering the TELEPHONE!
